EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the pivotal moment of the Battle of Marathon, a historic event that took place in September, 490 BC, in Greece. The image showcases the valiant leader Miltiades, with 11,000 Athenians and Plataeans, standing firm against the overwhelming Persian army of 60,000 strong, led by King Darius Hystaspes. The Persian invasion of Greece was a significant threat to the Greek city-states, and the outcome of this battle would ultimately determine the fate of Europe. The Battle of Marathon is considered a turning point in ancient history, as the Greek forces, despite their smaller numbers, managed to decisively defeat the Persian army. The victory was achieved through a combination of superior tactics, courage, and determination. The Greeks employed a phalanx formation, a military tactic that proved effective against the Persian cavalry charges. Additionally, the Greeks had the element of surprise on their side, as they had managed to ambush the Persian forces while they were unsuspecting. The Battle of Marathon marked the end of the First Persian Invasion of Greece and boosted the morale of the Greek city-states. It also demonstrated the resilience and strength of the Greek people in the face of a powerful enemy. The event is commemorated every year in the modern-day Marathon race, which takes place in Greece and symbolizes the run of the legendary Greek soldier Pheidippides, who is said to have run from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the Greek victory. This print is a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of ancient Greece.
